Love it or hate it?

Hate it.

hate it.

Love it, but 'Bernie' is an awful nickname, and the name itself is a bit long.

[mooie-ziel.livejournal.com]

A girl in my hall Freshman year had that name. She was an airhead and on the Santa Cruz Fraternity Life [MTV] trying to hook up with the frat boys.

Other than that I think I like it. It's strong but not in a Reagan/Ryan/WhatEverOtherGuysNameUsedOnAGirl way.

Just thinking about that, I like it more now.

i really really want to love it, but i can't seem to make myself. maybe it's the bernie nickname i don't like. but then again, bernadette peters is badass!

i'm torn.

I love it, I love Bernie as a nickname, but I have to say it makes me think of Bernadette from The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.

Not that this is a bad association for me, at all.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Hate it.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Random, but I miss those Fraternity/Sorority Life shows!

[cerise-blue.livejournal.com]

hate it.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

i was thinking the opposite. bernadette is a mouthful and not very elegant sounding, but i love bernie as a nickname. :P

[alluminor.livejournal.com]

Love.

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you.

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

hate it, it sounds like an old-lady's name to me

Same here... I WANT to like it. I like it in principle, because I hate wishy-washy names that are just pretty sounds thrown together, and Bernadette is so strong.

But... It's just too ugly :(

[satunian.livejournal.com]

Like it, but don't love it

[marcsgen.livejournal.com]

Love it, but would probably never name my own child that. NMS for my hypothetical future kids.

But I like it, think it's charming for a little girl, classy for a young woman, mature for an adult, and... well, back to charming for an old woman. :) And Bernadette Peters is a /goddess/.

[debrrra.livejournal.com]

LOVE it.

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

Hate it.

[ferretiger.livejournal.com]

personally ruined for me by a Bernadette I knew in grammar school with some seriously bad hair.

[maude.livejournal.com]

Hate it. So ugly and sounds like a car name.

[zante.livejournal.com]

I do like it, but I have bad associations with it so I wouldn't use it on my daughter :)

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

Hate it. And I don't like Bernie either.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Hatei t.

[jaydoz.livejournal.com]

Hate it

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Hate it.

[kthartline.livejournal.com]

It makes me think of a white trashy type redneck fatso for some reason. Maybe Adette... or Berna would be a LITTLE bit better...

[so-there.livejournal.com]

ditto this (minus the part about bernadette peters, since I don't know who that is). it was on my names list for a long time, but got knocked off during the "names that fit my style but I just don't like the sound of" cut.

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

It feels very dated to me, and it reminds me of the old Motown song. I don't hate it, but I think it's a tough name to give a kid, and Bernie sucks as a nickname for a little girl.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

It's my grandma's name, people call her Bern. I'm not a fan of it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

LOVE IT.

[ilovehounds.livejournal.com]

google her. she's a broadway legend, though most people know her from either the old "Annie" movie (she was Tim Curry's girlfriend Lil) or Disney's Cinderella (the live action musical version -- she was the stepmother)

[miss-gracie.livejournal.com]

It's my mum's middle name. It's pretty boring sounding.

[silentyrs.livejournal.com]

I like it. It reminds me of Bernadette "Benny" from Circle of Friends.
